Have you already installed TBP. If yes, just go to Prefrences>Backup folder location and press detect. After this TBP with scan ur sd card and detect the folder in which u have ur backup.Just select use current folder and then comeout of settings.After that go to batch and select the restore option that suits u d best.

If he didn't back up to external_sd then there's no use for this post.
i choosed the apps i needed. and backuped them one by one.this doesnt mena that i made a backupo?(
You backed-up the folder TItaniumbackup, right? If yes, and if it is on your External_SD card, just copy the folder to Inernal_SD. If you have not backed up the folder to the external_SD..Poof! Gone!
you know,there is a folder "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup" in externa_sd/data....but this folder is empty. i lost everything?
I'm afraid you did.
Why don't u folks back up the files directly on titanium app and setup the path to the external sd, in the first run? Really don't think it's a complex issue!

The common issue starts with backing up in
- A folder that Is hard to reach.
- Backups don't get saved to com.kermidas, This is the system's folder, Not a backup folder. If you save to that folder, Congratulations, You've evolved from a rich to a poor-mon. These folder's erase themselves EVERY time you flash from one firmware to another. They get recreated once you re-install the same app or restore VIA titanium.
- Then again, It takes a little thinking to realize, sdcard and external_sd are separate. EX: Basket is external_sd , Garbage chute is sdcard and bread is your data.
Scenario - If you put a bread in a basket and a bread in the garbage chute, and the daily collector comes to collect the trash, Obviously the one in the trash is gone.

Sorry for the noob question have searched but not happy with results, so,
Have backed up via cwm and want to back up the backup to pc, can i just copy and paste the backup to windows 7 pc ?, will this alter the backup in anyway ? preventing correct restore ?.:silly::silly:
thku
Yes you can.
Just put them back in the backup folder in cwm on sd-card to restore them.
It shouldn't matter that you copy and paste.
They are just files with names and must be readable.
Just don't rename them, not even the folders name.

I have recently flashed Clockworkmod Recovery on my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500). I performed a nandroid backup which works just fine since I've been able to use it to restore my stock ROM. However, the phone seems to know where to fetch the backup but I can't locate it personally on the phone either through the PC or using file managers on the device like Root Explorer and Solid Explorer. I even used Solid Edxplorer to change permissions so that I could see all hidden files. Still, all I saw was a 35 byte file named .recovery_version located in /sdcard/clockworkmod with these permissions: rw-rw-r-- and from what I see in the properties of the file it is an MD5. That is all I see. In clockworkmod recovery, the backup is quoted to be in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. I can't see that file on my device. Why aren't I seeing this nandroid backup of mine yet it is in the internal storage? I want to move it from my ohone to PC to free up space since it occupies around 3 GB of the precious storage (you all know the storage issues the GS4 is facing don't you?). Help please.

your backup is located in Data/Media/clockworckmod
use es explorer, enable root, move clockworckmod folder to sd card then to your pc
or use adb command to pull it to your pc

If you cannot see or find it in your /sdcard internal, look in your external sdcard /clockworkmod
folder and sub directories in that folder.
The backups are either in internal or external sdcard /clockworkmod and it's sub-directories
Good luck,
Thanks, I found it using root Explorer in the directories you directed me to. Good day mate

Really appreciate this. Was looking around and noticed my phone storage was fairly low, and couldn't find my stock backup to save my life. Googled this and it brought it right up! Again, thanks! Was fixing to make another backup of my current setup and realized I didn't have enough room lol.

I had similar issue.
Your advice resolved it for me as it was exactly where you pointed.
I go about it a bit differently. Under settings in CWMR you can change the backup location to the external sdcard. Do your backup, connect your phone to the pc and copy it off like any other file. The only downside is you need the available space on your card.

Until you are on the road and need that backup because you got a bad dl. Unless you keep a zip drive on you.. Which is actually a good idea. I switched over to twrp so I can save it to extsd.

Brain fart. I meant to say I change the settings in ROM Manager not CWMR.
I think we are talking about doing the same thing but with different apps. I change the location setting in ROM Manager which I use for my backups and it automatically saves the backup to the extsd instead of the device. I then copy it to my pc but always maintain the latest backup on my extsd in case I need it wherever I am. Done and done. No annoying copying from device to extsd to pc or using download server or an adb pull needed.
It's personal preference to use ROM Manager with CWMR or TWRP. It doesn't matter to me. I started off using clockworkmod's apps some time ago and am happy with them. I just moved to 4.2.2 and noticed how ROM Manager handles the backups differently and the number of questions regarding how to get them off their phone. This is my solution and how I have always done it.
Worked on Samsung Galaxy S Duos GT 7562. Thanks!
Don't have the S4, but after googling this, well, THANKS!!!
open your es explorer and active it'a rooting option in slide panel or use root expkorer then go to this path
mnt//shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/ you will fine a folder named this date and time thats your backup folder copy it into your mobile storage .... done the n copy or move it in to your pc like normaly file ...
Why is this all the sudden not put on the sdcard? Privacy? Anyway to change recovery to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup?
I used the adb pull command to pull from phone mnt//shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup

In Android 4.2+ backups are placed in secure directory, inaccessible to other apps. Backups can be pulled with adb or by using the ROM Manager Backup Download Server.
Heads up
thanks, i was also looking for the backup location as i dont have an external card, thanks.

Ehm, no. Running 4.4.2 and still the back-ups are located in the directories talked about above. Easily accessible by all file manager apps.
Never been any other way as well.
found the backup dir
my portion of a backup was under CWM and backups found deleted using sd card:good:
Having trouble finding backups on Nexus4
I have the same problem....
The backup was made through the CWM in recovery mode...
The MD5 checksum gave an error..I am trying to fix it so I need access to the files.
I can see the backup folders in recovery mode but cant find them with any file explorer nor did they show with adb pulling sdcard...
Any ideas??

Thank you sir a lot.
I would pray CWM devs, and all the other app devs like Dolphin, Whatsapp etc to please print the path once the backup is done. This will save us a bunch of time!
THANKS

Hi, Thanks a lot I am new to using SONY devices as I have used SAMSUNG and HTC ones before. Your direction pointed me to the right path and I was able to move it to the PC afterwards.
I really appreciate your help.

This is from a newbie, so please forgive me if these questions are too basic. They are about a rooted 2013 Nexus 7 running Android 4.3 (55j).
1. Using ES Explorer I see that two folders take up a lot of space :
a) TWRP with 2.16 GB almost entirely in the backup folder
b) Titanium backup with 1.72 GB
Can I move the Twrp backup folder to a pc and delete it from the tablet?
2. Moving the Titanium backups doesn't make sense because they are set to create backups ever so often, so they will just recreate themselves. Correct?
2. I really like ES Explorer, but the Local section in its Fast Access bar has 3 predefined locations.
Is there a way I can add other locations to the local section? How?
3. The Nexus 7 does not have an sdcard. I noticed that it has an emulated "storage" folder that essentially duplicates the sdcard folder.
Question :
When I save or load something into/from an app, does it matter whether I save to the emulated folder or the one in the sdcard folder.
Why are there emulated folders?
Thank you all.
This emulated sdcard folder (/emulated/0/sdcard) is needed by the Android system to provide a space accessible for apps to save their data because there is no real SD card existing. If the device is not rooted, this is the only folder that you can edit. As you are rooted user, you could save files anywhere, but I don't recommend it.
The /sdcard folder is just a link leading to the same folder as above so it doesn't matter what folder you use.
Hope I could help you!

Hello, everyone, I came to this forum in hope for some advice with a problem I'm having. I'm sure I'll be sticking around as I just got a new S5 for Christmas, though. I apologize if these threads are redundant, but I've searched this forum and Google and haven't found a solution. First things first, I have a T-Mobile S5 running 4.4.2 and I rooted, installed CWM with Phil's Touch and created a backup. I saved the backup to my internal sdcard storage and copied a backup on my PC via usb. I've since deleted the backup saved to my internal storage to save space and would like to place it back in my phone to restore. I have not installed a custom ROM yet or re-partioned anything. The reason I'd like to restore is because my dumb-ass accidentally uninstalled the stock video/audio player while attempting to remove bloatware. I now can't listen to or view any videos sent via text without first downloading them and using an installed app' to play them. (Any tips on this would be nice.) Here's my main issue: when I attempted to place the backup back into my Clockworkmod/Backup/ folder, I'm prompted with a message saying I can't move this item. I've tried moving the file on my PC as well as my phone and had no success. I then tried using a root file manager to manually place the backup into the clockwork folder (it allowed me to put the backup in my phone's storage, but not clockwork's backup folder) and it ended up placing it the folder in clockwork, but not the backup folder. The folders now go: Clockworkmod/'My saved backup' - Backups folder/ empty. I can't move nor delete that file because it is write protected and I have no idea what to do from here. I need to restore my backup and definitely remove the copy that's write protected as it is taking a few gb's of storage. Any help will be greatly appreciated and I will likely give a small Paypal donation to the best response. (preferably tonight, if possible.) Thanks, guys. Let me know if you need any other details.
Update: I just tried installing Phil's Touch Aroma File Manager as I read that can delete/edit write-protected files and I'm not able to launch it in recovery. The folder and zip files were correctly placed, but it won't recognize the folder. I don't understand why my phone isn't recognizing anything in the Clockwork folder.
